You got a scenario where you need to share a large file or multiple large files between your two devices.

Prerequisite:

• A computer with Python3 installed
• A common internet network between your source and destination devices

Setup

• run the following command in your source computer from the folder where your source file is present.

$ python -m http.server

• Get the IP of your source computer through ifconfig/ipconfig based on your OS.
• Go to your destination device and open a browser.
• Type in the <IP>:8000 on the browser address bar

Example

source:

$ python -m http.server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...

destination:

right-click on the desired file and click on save link as to save the file on the destination.

That's it. :)

Bonus tip:

• You can transfer files of any size.
• You can create a zip file of an entire folder and transfer it.
• The receiver device can be any device (feature phone, tablet, etc.) it just needs to connect with the same network and should have a browser.

Question for you

• Do you need the internet to transfer the files?
